Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan has taken over the boxing and entertainment business with the latest installment of the Creed/Rocky franchise. The Just Mercy actor made his directorial debut with Creed III which had many wondering how he would match up to the success of its predecessors. However, it looks like the movie has surpassed all expectations raking in $22 million on opening day and screening in 4,007 locations.

In addition, the movie has made over $100 million in worldwide box office revenues and is expected to surpass $50 million in domestic revenue this week. The movie already has the biggest domestic opening for a sports movie ever, leaving the previous parts in the dust. Moreover, actor Will Smith even congratulated Jordan and co-actor, Jonathan Majors, for this achievement as he took to social media and shared his thoughts. “DAMN!!! Huuuuge congrats to Michael B Jordan, Jonathan Majors and the whole Creed III family! $100M worldwide and biggest domestic opening for a sports film ever! It’s CRAZY! Y’all Go See It,” he wrote.

Smith revealed that the movie had crossed $100 million in revenue and urged the fans to see it in theaters. This was not all as fans also joined the Men In Black actor to congratulate Jordan on this historic achievement.

The fans seemed to have very much enjoyed the latest edition of this franchise. However, this was not the case before the release of the movie with many questioning Jordan’s move to not feature Sylvester Stallone in this movie despite him being stable in the Rocky/Creed movies. Despite this, it looks like Jordan has found a way to make the story progress without Sly in it as the boxing franchise now heads into a brand new direction.
